I thought from the headline that this was going to involve paying someone else to pray the rosary for you, or else just clicking and having it count as having prayed a rosary.<p>But it looks like it's more like a gamified app to teach people this prayer (albeit at pretty high cost and risk of obsolescence).<p>I think it's interesting that in parts of Buddhism there <i>is</i> a sort of substitute for personally reading or reciting religious texts such as sutras and mantras: the prayer wheel and the prayer flag, where just having a copy of the text move is considered to generate some kind of spiritual merit or benefit. I'm not sure how universal this is in Buddhism or what the differences are between personal recitation and, say, turning a prayer wheel.
Interesting juxtaposition between generic tech companies/apps that have stupidly lofty goals like changing the world, and this app that has the lofty goal of world peace.
